Third Generation 3G Cell Phones
With Third Generation (3G) cellular phones, the information transmitted is split into separate but related “packets” before being transmitted and reassembled at the receiving end. Speeds of up to 2 Megabits per second (Mbps) are achievable with Third Generation (3G) cell phones. Third Generation (3G) facilitates several new applications that have not previously been readily available over mobile cellular networks due to the limitations in data transmission speeds. These web applications range from Web Browsing to file transfer to Home Automation- the ability to remotely access and control in-house appliances and machines from Third Generation (3G) cell phones.
The Benefits of Third Generation 3G Cell Phones
- AutoCaps (automatic capabilities), said to allow phones to exchange capabilities data and synchronize channels, with no additional development needed
- Support for the WNSRP, a proposed standard for quick call set up time
- Support for the latest annexes, said to improve call quality
- Shared common cores across multiple communication protocols, enabling multiple 3G protocol support -- including SIP, MEGACO, RTSP, and 3G-324M
- Better media control for improved call quality
- Flexible multiplexing and dual video support, for handsets with two cameras, or for interoperability with H.323 systems
- Support of many handset operating systems, including Linux, Windows CE, Symbian, and Nucleus
- Simple APIs for GEF (generic extensibility framework) formats, including MPEG-4, AMR, H.264, and H.239
- A sample interface implementation for 3G WCDMA networks
